The complete prompt
Do not change the subject's facial bone structure, eye shape and
color, nose shape, lip shape, jawline, or skin tone in any way — keep
it 100% identical to the original photo. Body build and proportions
unchanged. Non-negotiable.
LIGHTING SETUP (as a real photographer would dial it in): Key light —
warm diya/lamp light from a nearby festive setup, acting as a soft
golden key from camera-left at chest height. Fill — soft ambient dusk
light from above, gently balancing the warm key at close to a 2:1
ratio. Rim light — string lights behind her create a soft golden edge-
glow along her hair and shoulder. Catchlights in her eyes should be
warm and soft, reflecting the diya flames.
LENS & OPTICS: Simulate an 85mm lens at f/2.0 — flattering facial
compression, background rendered as soft creamy bokeh with blurred
marigold garlands and fairy lights, gentle fall-off in sharpness away
from the focal point, faint natural vignette at the corners.
FILM/COLOR SCIENCE: Emulate a warm festive film response — diya-light
highlights bloom softly rather than clipping, shadows lifted gently
rather than crushed black, rich warm gold-peacock-blue midtones
balancing naturally against her skin tone.
Style: Dress her in an elegant peacock-blue or yellow silk saree or
lehenga with delicate gold jewelry (choker, jhumka earrings, maang
tikka), a small peacock feather motif or fresh flower detail in softly
styled hair, subtle tilak/bindi. Background: a beautifully decorated
Janmashtami setup with a Krishna idol/jhula (swing), peacock feathers,
marigold garlands, and diyas, softly blurred.
DIRECTED POSE (as if a photographer is instructing her in real time):
Standing near the decorated jhula or Krishna idol, one hand gently
holding a diya or offering flowers, body angled at three-quarters to
the camera, head turned toward the lens with a soft tilt.
GENUINE DIRECTED EXPRESSION: A warm, devotional smile with softly
crinkled eyes, chin very slightly lowered — the natural joyful look
right after being asked to "just look up gently and smile," not a
stiff posed grin.
RETOUCH PIPELINE: Frequency-separation-style retouching — smooth
tonal transitions on skin while fully preserving fine pore-level
texture and natural color variation under the warm diya light. Subtle
dodge-and-burn to retain natural facial planes, no flattened or
washed-out glow.
FINISHING: Fine film grain overlay at low opacity, very slight
chromatic softness at the frame edges as a real lens would render, no
digital sharpening halos, natural imperfect crop as if not perfectly
composed in-camera.
Ensure zero facial distortion, correct hand anatomy, and consistent
shadow/light-source logic between the warm diya key and ambient dusk
fill.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
